Yes, but I notice the sleeves on the pattern aren't anything like the "real" dress sleeves.

(plate 14, if you have the book) Speaking of that book, if you'll turn to plate 11 and look at the 3rd guy from the left (the one with his hand to his chin) you will see the EXACT twin of a friend of mine from school who happens to be a genius physicist. Every time I look at that picture, I suspect him of having invented a time machine, and being rude enough to keep it from me. More topically, plate 8 from 1842 also bears a resemblance to the dress in question. -E _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
